    If you have only one connector the extension will pick it up automatically.if you have multiple connectors, select the one in the list and hit save

Set up a point

  1. From the btibMqttConnector palette, drag and drop the MqttPointExt to a point.

  2. Edit the device query to point to your device which contains the Device Extension. By default, the extension will look for the parent device but you can change it to use any other component that contains a MqttDevice extension.
